Fan Jinghua: To My Laptop

Today, my four-year-old laptop shows for the first time symptoms of disease or senility, and I write a poem for her.

To My LaptopI confess, I hang on with you all day longNot for you, but for play, sometimes purely out of boredom.Even if I am earnest, I am only using you to reach others.I try to keep you as a tool only, to take me to places good menDo not visit, and I bring you viruses to your hardcore;But when you are slow due to that, I unabashedly remove your memory.I put my beloved one on your face, and every time you greet meWith delightful sound, I only wish you could go as quickly as possible.I may just click on you, and enter whatever a gate,Even though the pop-ups are low and base to the sight.Only when I am away, you may be given a chance to dance by yourself,And that is because I want you to shield my privacy, saving my face.Everyone jokes that you are my paramour, because I spend most of my lifeWith you, which no one else can hope for, and even my wife,Who is the one I hold in my arms every night, harbors a profound grudge.By nature, you may claim the right to sit on my lap whenever I’m alone,But only very occasionally do you have the chance to crouch outside the quiltOver my wife and me, entertaining us or merely spicing up a lovemaking.You never take to your heart that I always keep you at an arm’s distance,And when I make a copy of you as a standby, you never complain my lack of trust.All said and done, you and I know so well that you are my only confidante,I take out to you all my secrets, my cowardice and immorality, my pride and ambition.You are the only one who can betray me and bring irrecoverable hurt, And you know this, so you have to bear to death.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

I was suggested this web site via my cousin. I'm now not positive whether or not this publish is written by way of him as no one else understand such targeted about my problem. You are amazing! Thanks!

Fantastic website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article? I'd really love to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thank you!

Hi there! This post couldn't be written much better! Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept talking about this. I am going to forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. I appreciate you for sharing!

You don't want to pick something that everyone's heard bad things about, even if this is just because these drugs are more popular. Penis enlargement methods have already had some positive results. Conversely, alternatives like weights or jelqing means decreasing sensitivity in a man's libido.

Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't show up. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say great blog!

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
